Even if parents have to work or can't allow their children to play outside after school, that doesn't mean the child has to be allowed to eat all the darn time.

Take away the video games and the fattening foods around the house. That child will find something more constructive to do with his time and his appetite if you provide alternatives. A well disciplined child doesn't need a parent directing her every minute of the day to know what is and is not appropriate.
The moment in the show that really pissed me off was when Walter's dad tried to act like Walter was the only one responsible for his condition. There were stacks of pizza boxes on the counter behind them! Did this kid have the money to order pizzas and pizza burritos (WTF)? His parents let him sit five hours at stretch and play video games. The parents allowed this kid to become a health disaster! His obesity is the result of longstanding habits and enabling by the parents!
